I am not sure I fully understand your question :( The shelves at the bottom where we put our shoes come up to 25" although we don't sit on the shelves. They are sturdy enough for us to sit on them, it isn't something we considered when installing them. The distance between the bottom shelves and the cubbies is about 34". Please let me know if you need anymore information. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16438557361477267220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875271886183709222.post-72600097175563179122016-01-26T18:30:41.360-06:002016-01-26T18:30:41.360-06:00Could You please tell Me if You and/or Your Husban...Could You please tell Me if You and/or Your Husband are tall? If so,How high did He mount the bottom of the lowest shelf,From the bench? My problem is that I found the standard/recommended height for the bench ("18 with finished cushion & a 12 degree angle if I decide to add a back wedge to the rear wall,According to This Old House & Martha Stewart magazines) But,My problem is that I am very petite,Standing a challenging '4 "11.My 2 teenage Boys take after My dearly departed Husband who was '6 "5! The 2 boys are only 14 & 16 years old yet are already '6 each.Everytime I make something,Or hang a picture (Or worst yet,A mirror) I think it's set at a wonderful height that will be a little high for Me & slightly low for Them.Yet all I hear is complaints that "It's too low" or "My head is hitting this pendant,Mom!!" I tend to attach things to the walls TOO WELL,So I'd really appreciate the distance between the seat & where the upper shelves start,So I can make sure Their heads clear.The entire point of My transforming My small entry closet of My post-war Cottage Bungalow,Into a "mini-Mudroom",Is to provide The Boys a convenient place to sit down to take off Their shoes (The way I trained Them when They were little,To do!) But as We all know,Teenager's tend to be very lazy when it comes to "details" like that & I'm tired of replacing My living room area rug annually,Because all of the "I'm only running in for a second,I can't take My shoes off",Finally ruins the rug & Spot Shot stops working.I have an all white living room & have taken care to but durable,washable materials (mostly cotton twill Slipcovers" because after raising 2 Girls & 2 Boys,I have learned that it's not what color You choose in fabrics,It's how washable/durable & sturdy those choices have to be.I can maintain white slipcovers & white walls (Accent colors are on 1 wall & interchangeable pillows,etc but for the Life of Me,Cannot keep an area rug more then a year & a natural material like Sisal,Is out of the question because of Our Pets.Thanks in advance for Your response & BTW,It looks great!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166021948186758240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875271886183709222.post-31086236829364984332015-07-21T10:37:28.691-05:002015-07-21T10:37:28.691-05:00GREAT JOB !
